    Author: Tavares Fde P, Fernandes RS, Bernardes TF, Bonfioli AA, Soares EJ.
    Journal: Semin Ophthalmol; 2010 May; 25(3):84-93. PubMed ID: 20590418.
    Abstract:
    Dry eye (DED) is a multifactorial disease that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface, accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation. DED is a common clinical problem and is among the most frequent diagnoses in ophthalmology. It substantially affects quality of life because of the constant ocular discomfort and decrease in visual function. This review discusses the etiology, classification, diagnosis procedures, clinical, and surgical treatments of dry eye.
